Innamincka Regional Reserve is located in South Australia. The 1.3 million hectares reserve was created in 1988, in particular to protect its important wetlands.^[1]

It was in this area that the Burke and Wills expedition started and finished.

Both the Innamincka/Cooper Creek State Heritage Area^[2] and the Coongie Lakes National Park^[3]^[4] fall within the reserve.

Unlike most such reserves, pastoral farming and petroleum exploration and extraction are allowed land uses.^[1]
